On December 17, 2016, the Narendra Modi government appointed Bipin Rawat based on merit, track record and foresight after replacing the then Eastern and Southern Army commanders. India’s 27th Chief of Staff of the Army. He continued to become the first Chief of Defense Staff and the newly formed Secretary of the Military Department (DMA) on January 1, 2020. On Wednesday afternoon, he was killed in a Mi-17 V 5 helicopter crash on Mount Connour.
Now that the government’s task is to appoint a new CDS from the Indian Army, which is the largest army to date, and possibly a new Army Chief of Staff, the Modi government is expected to follow the same overall performance model-taking into account China’s tensions on the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the PLA troops, tanks, rockets and missiles are deployed in the Western Theater, India will need to take into account the concerns of certain service headquarters, not only will strongly promote the establishment of the CDS of the military theater command, but also And generals who can provide reliable single-point military advice to the government. According to regulations, all commanders in chief of the army can be considered for the job of CDS, and seniority is not the only criterion. Simply upgrading each commander to the next step is not the way the Modi government works, because it will take a 360-degree view of the careers of all officers under consideration and their performance during the ongoing confrontation between Ladakh and the People’s Liberation Army. As General Rawat once said, India is facing threats from 2.5 fronts. Although Prime Minister Modi will find it difficult to compare the quality of his successor, General Rawat, the national security agency must bear in mind the threat from Africa-Pakistan and Kabul face the worst economies under the military occupation of the Taliban and Islamabad. And governance crisis, Prime Minister Imran Khan tried to support Army Chief of Staff Kamal Javed Bajwa. It is obvious from the incident in Pakistan that Khan became more aggressive towards India in Kashmir and supported the Taliban in Afghanistan. This seems to be contrary to General Bajwa’s thinking, because he fears that in Pakistan, Deobandi (Tehreek- e-Pakistani Taliban) and Barelvi (Tehreek-e-Labbaik) Sunnis armed.
